Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) in Tennessee is the largest US Department of Energy (DOE) science and energy lab and has been home to some of the world’s fastest supercomputers for over a generation. Currently, the 27-petaflop Titan system at ORNL is the nation’s most powerful supercomputer for open science research, and in 2018, the lab will stand up Summit, a system that will be at least five times more powerful than Titan.
“For years, our vision has been to provide the world’s most powerful open resources for computing, simulation, and data analytics at any scale,” said Jeff Nichols, associate laboratory director (ALD) of Computing and Computational Sciences.
